Conor O'Shea frustrated by Harlequins defeat

Harlequins director of rugby Conor O'Shea has expressed his frustration following his side's defeat at home to Sale Sharks in the Aviva Premiership.

Quins suffered a fourth loss of the season on Friday night as they were beaten 16-12 at Twickenham Stoop.

O'Shea believes that a lack of discipline from his team played a big part in the result, which saw Sale win at The Stoop for the first time since 2008.

"It wasn't pretty, was it? As a game it was always going to be given the conditions. It was a very frustrating night," he is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News.

"We played the second half in the wrong parts of the pitch. Twice when we took the lead, we gave away soft turnovers and penalties off kickoffs by not clearing our lines. We're massively frustrated."

Quins are back in action next Friday when they make the trip to Bath in the Aviva Premiership.
